Yes, it will tell you if it's shiny or not, you can see that the Drilbur egg on Lando's tweet is going to hatch shiny - it has a blue nose and pink marks.

However, scamming via Nature, Egg Moves, IVs, and Abilities are still possible due to the fact that ithe new feature only shows the sprite. However, Ability can be eliminated if you happen to be smart enough, because you can't determine the Ability before. However, Nature, Egg Moves, and IVs can still be used in scamming.
